The bedrooms have: 2 twin beds (1 per person), 2 nightstands (1 per person), and a dresser with 6 drawers.

Then in the living room/kitchen there is a table and chairs, a sofa, 2 chairs, 2 small tables, and I believe that is all.

No, there are no tvs included.

There's just one dresser?

How much do the apartments run?

Yes. 3 drawers per person.

How much do the apartments run?

Well, for Fall 2008 it was $75 for Vista 3BR and $85 for Vista 2BR; Chatham was $80 for 3/4BR and $90 for 1/2BR; Patterson was $81 for 3/4BR and $91 for 1/2BR. However, rent will be going up in Jan. It will run from $80-105.

There's one dresser with 6 drawers but I had plenty of room in the closet and I also bought a three drawer storage thing that I used for clothes. The closet had three shelves and two lockers. I got bedrisers as well to lift my bed up and I was able to keep my suitcases and laundry basket under it to save space...

Oh goodness... I just hope there is a big closet... haha

It's a decent-sized walk-in closet. You should have enough room, don't worry.

Awesome!

I heard that you can't nail anything to the wall or tack it... would those removable hooks be okay to bring? You know, the ones that do not leave a mark or hole or anything? I just want some shelf space for picture frames and such and some wall decorations so that the room is more inviting

There are no lockers in the bathrooms, but there is a locker for each person in the closet.

Kind of in line with the theft question earlier, I'm guessing the lockers are big enough to keep jewelry, etc in (just not anything big)? And we need to bring our own locks for the locker correct?

yea, they are about the size of the lockers you had in high school. the short half size if you were a fortunate one to have a tall locker.

Also - I was watching a video on youtube showing the Patterson apts (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRSuD4yxpi8). The girl narrating mentions that they have TiVo on the tv in their living room area.

Can you get TiVo (or DVR) for the apartments? I was figuring that it wasn't possible because of utilities being included in the rent, but then I saw that this girl did have it in her apartment. I'm hoping that it is possible then?!

You have to bring it down yourself (it is not included).

if you bring your own TV is there a hook-up just for the living room or is there one for the bedrooms?

I know there is one in the living room. I don't believe there are any in the bedrooms though.

Disney will put you in a wellness upon your arrival. When you turn 21, you can choose to be moved into a non-wellness apartment free of charge(normally a $50 fee)

The catch is, you might really like your roomies and not want to leave them, but you're just safer in a non-wellness as a 21 year old. you can drink and have alcohol in your apartment without worrying during inspection about possibly getting in trouble, and you won't have to worry about those people under 21 having alcohol in the apartment even though they're not supposed to
